A comic that basically recounts my childhood in one sitting

A wonderful friend recently asked me to participate in a little collective of artists and writers creating all ages comics. The group, called The Slumberland Digest, posts nightly installments of comics so your dreamy head can go to sleep on a good note. Follow them, as there are little differences my comic that you can only see on the IG. Here's a link: The Slumberland Digest

That being said, here is my pretty true to life comic. I was a Nintendo junkie.

Warhammer 40K painting

Ok, so after painting and inking this guy up using Ray Frenden's brush pack for Manga Studio 4, I dropped  him into Photoshop. I added some textures that are just black ink with a dry, flat brush or drips from above the paper for the snowy atmosphere. This was a fun experiment. I don't usually play with digital these days but I may start up again with tools that feel so analog. Nothing beats getting ink on your face because you scratched yourself and forgot to wash up though... 


This is a digital painting of Ragnar Blackmane from the Space Wolves chapter...

Abobo lives, brother!


Still working piecemeal on this illustration project. If you don’t know Abobo at this point you really should.
He’s a Double Dragon villain but more importantly he is the star of his own video game:Abobo’s Big Adventure. I had no part in this game…I just think it’s fantastic. It is fun and highly playable. Did I mention it is free? If you are the kind of awesome that I think you are, you can figure out how to hook up a controller to your computer and play it that way. Do the Googles bro.

This is something like how my Abobo will be looking:
